"We Can Manage" is the theme of the first of two activities in a Kids Health resource that asks scholars to design a leaflet that educates others about diabetes, and suggests ways they can support peers with diabetes. The second activity challenges learners to research diabetes, read a journal entry of a person with diabetes then suggest ways they could have better managed the situation.
